Creating "Dark & Heavy & Dirty" Bass

Post by thebees01 » Wed Sep 16, 2009 4:50 pm

Any tips on how to create that dark sounding bass? The ones i make end up sounding like deep shitty farts! I want to create something like the bass in the example bellow.

Example : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uF-EeSaONwQ

I use Massive + other stuff to create my wobbles in Logic!

Thanks,

i actually want to know how you can recreate those 'bass farts' too. I came close to it by resampling a bassline i made in massive and distorting the crap out of it with amplitube but it didnt sound like the wet fart i wanted. Maybe more compression and saturation was needed?

havent bothered to listen to the clip but i assume you mean twisty/growly/talky sort of noisia/spor/broken note/etc. basses

the key is resampling. you make sort of crazy noises and the fuck them up with filters, distortion, choruses, whatever really, then sample them and do it again and repeat and layer and experiment ad nauseum until you get something really cool, takes a lot of time and tweaking, but if you keep at it you will get there, its not like some kind of magic plugin or nothing.

no, not quite....it's literally a bass that sounds like someone's guffed. A very stinky bass fart. no twist or growl but fart.
